UMAREX Glock 22 GNB CO2 Airsoft Pistol — Black

The Glock 22 GNB is a CO2 airsoft pistol with a gas non-blowback mechanism, developed by UMAREX in collaboration with VFC (Vega Force Company). It reproduces the shape and proportions of the Glock 22 in .40 calibre, with a polymer frame and slide and internally selected components for reliable performance on the airsoft field.

The CO2 system delivers consistent operating pressure even during extended sessions, without the variability typical of Green Gas systems on colder days. The absence of blowback eliminates slide recoil with each shot: this reduces gas consumption per round and keeps the sight picture more stable during rapid fire, though at the cost of the realistic firing cycle feel that shooters accustomed to blowback may be looking for. This is a choice geared towards efficiency and cartridge autonomy rather than simulation.

The internal components handled by VFC bring the build precision of the same line that produces competition-grade replicas: consistent machining tolerances and selected materials translate into tight groupings and consistent operation over time. The external lines faithfully follow the ergonomics of the original pistol, with the frame profile, squared trigger guard and trigger-integrated safety characteristic of the Glock series.

Key points

• CO2 system for consistent pressure regardless of ambient temperature, with greater autonomy per cartridge compared to Green Gas.
• Non-blowback mechanism (GNB): each BB is fired using less gas and the sight picture is not disturbed by slide recoil — well suited to those who prioritise accuracy over realistic simulation.
• Internal development by VFC, ensuring build quality above the average for replicas in this price bracket.
• Faithful reproduction of the Glock 22 proportions and ergonomics: grip, frame angle and trigger guard are consistent with the original pistol for those wanting to familiarise themselves with that geometry.
• Full black finish, with a single colour configuration available for this variant.
